Faculty need to reassert the academic mission and take back the university from central administrators who are not faithful to our shared values. Essential reading by my brilliant law colleague David Pozen on the presidentialization of Columbia University: https://t.co/T6pkXithhZ
Monday is the 56th anniversary of the execution of one of the most inspiring public intellectuals in the history of the PRC, Lin Zhao. To commemorate this day, @mjdanganguan has put together most of her work and made it available free to download.
Ok, let's count!
Here's the plan: a 2023×2023 matrix with coefficients in 𝔽₂ is the same as an 𝔽₂[t]-module structure on the abelian group 𝔽₂²⁰²³, and two such matrices are conjugate iff the corresponding 𝔽₂[t]-modules are isomorphic.
I didn’t think I was capable of laughing at anything right now but watching Egyptian comedian Bassem Yousef destroy every Israeli talking point AND useless Piers Morgan at the same time with satire resurrected my laughter. Watch the whole thing.
@MathAndCobb Silly question: is there a way to write this ses with division instead of multiplication? quotient is playing the role of division here, but still it feels weird to have something regarding division yet there is not a single division in sight
this vlogger got his livestreaming channel banned because of this vox pop... the vlogger is known for "what you can buy with 100rmb" kind of video. here he met a 78yo woman whose only income is social insurance of 107 yuan (15.5 usd) per month.
A queen sac followed by two counter checks and two more sacrifices to deliver a smothered mate seven moves later is not something you see every day. #chesspuzzle#chess#tactics
Even if the price (which we still don't know, by the way) turns out to be something symbolic, like $5 a year, I'm not going to pay. To be clear: I have the money. I'm not asking for your help in paying it. No. It's just that the Twitter management can eat shit.
Why does chatGPT make up fake academic papers?
By now, we know that the chatbot notoriously invents fake academic references. E.g. its answer to the most cited economics paper is completely made-up (see image).
But why? And how does it make them? A THREAD (1/n) 🧵

A great, free way to build your opening repertoire. They recently upgraded the user flow and it's really smooth. You can upload an existing pgn or build a repertoire from scratch.
Academic job seekers often think that because they didn't get a job one year, or didn't get a particular job, there's something they should change in their application. That's often a mistake. Here are some reasons you maybe didn't get the job that are beyond your control(thread)
@divbyzero … such that if one go over the strip once it is the normal version while the second time is the upside down versipn.
I also am slightly confused about the cylinder strip double covering the mobius strip. Are the two sides of the cylinder the two copies of the mobius strip?
@divbyzero Yeah the video seems wrong. In the transparent cylinder solution, are you proposing one player playing the “normal” version over and over again, and another player playing the “upside down” version over and over? If only there is something that double covers cylinder strip…
